“Among all the creatures of creation, the gods favor us: We are the only ones who can empathize with their problems.”

“It is only through us that God lives. When we abandon him, he dies.”

“Since we live in the heads of those who remember us, we lose control of our lives and become who they want us to be.”

“All creation necessarily ends in this: Creators, powerless, fleeing from the things they have wrought.”

“Although we credit God with designing man, it turns out He's not sufficiently skilled to have done so. In point of fact, He unintentionally knocked over the first domino by creating a palette of atoms with different shapes. Electron clouds bonded, molecules bloomed, proteins embraced, and eventually cells formed and learned how to hang on to one another like lovebirds. He discovered that by simmering the Earth at the proper distance from the Sun, it instinctively sprouted with life. He's not so much a creator as a molecule tinkerer who enjoyed a stroke of luck: He simply set the ball rolling by creating a smorgasbord of matter, and creation ensued.”

“We open our eyes and we think we're seeing the whole world out there. But what has become clear—and really just in the last few centuries—is that when you look at the electro-magnetic spectrum we are seeing less than 1/10 Billionth of the information that's riding on there. So we call that visible light. But everything else passing through our bodies is completely invisible to us.Even though we accept the reality that's presented to us, we're really only seeing a little window of what's happening.”

“Everything that creates itself upon the backs of smaller scales will by those same scales be consumed.”
